If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that’s all right, everything is all right. Josemaria Escriva “We are at Jesus’ disposal. The sanctification of ordinary work is, as it were, the hinge of true spirituality for people who, like us, have decided to come close to God while being at the same time fully involved in temporal affairs.” – St. “What use is it telling me that so and so is a good son of mine - a good Christian - but a bad shoemaker? If he doesn’t try to learn his trade well, or doesn’t give his full attention to it, he won’t be able to sanctify it or offer it to Our Lord.
Here are five quotes from different saints about the value of work and how it can actually help us, not hinder us, in our quest for holiness. They see work as an essential part of life and a way that we can be further sanctified. We have our sights set on 5:00 and are rushing out when our time is up. In fact, most of the time we are busy working so that we don’t have to work. It’s not always easy to see the dignity of our work. Here's something for your #MondayMotivation - and a Labor Day weekend reflection.
